19----
20* {{Expy}}: Her hair and kimono make her look somewhat like Aoi from ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'', [[spoiler:except Aoi is not the type to commit murder over being rejected]]
21* {{Foil}}: To Cindy Stone. Both were romantically involved with Larry, but while Cindy is the victim of "The First Turnabout," Belle is a witness [[spoiler:and ultimately the culprit]] in "Turnabout with the Wind." Cindy is implied to have cared for Larry in the end, while Belle was obsessed with another man, [[spoiler:and used Larry as a patsy to pin her crime on]].
22* HiddenEyes: Particularly shortly before she adopts an especially emotional [[spoiler:or psychotic]] facial expression.
23* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:Her motive for committing the murder.]]
24* INeverSaidItWasPoison: She knew that [[spoiler:Bonds was at Gourd Lake]] so [[spoiler:it means she must have been there.]]

26* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler:Manipulated Larry into providing an alibi for her killing Bonds for rejecting her.]]

28* WomanScorned: [[spoiler:Again, why she killed the victim.]]
29
30!!Biddy Tenniman (''Yone Ootsuka'')
31Manager of the Run-Down Inn, and a witness called to the stand.
32----
33* FlawExploitation: The Run-Down Inn doesn't have any air conditioning so [[spoiler:Belle Windsor had to open up the window in one of the apartments to make it look like it was her apartment.]]
34* {{Gonk}}: Large eyes and lips.
35* ParrotPetPosition: She always has a cat with her.
36* SeinfeldianConversation: Payne remarked that she likes to talk about nothing since all she talked about before her tesrimony began was to try to convince Phoenix into moving into the Run Down Inn. [[spoiler:It turned out to be useful since she said there was no air conditioning so Phoenix uses that to figure out that Belle Windsor opened up the window in her apartment.]]
37* ShroudedInMyth: She doesn't know what Gourdy really is.
38[[/folder]]
39
40[[folder: Turnabout Gallows (''Gyakuten no Shikeidai'')]]

52
53!!Theridia Wolfe (''Himeko Komori'')
54Robin Wolfe's wife, who is not on good terms with him at the time of his death, and is also cold to Phoenix and Maya.
55----
56* IceQueen: But not without a few soft spots, such as when she cries and comforts her daughter after the true killer of her husband is revealed
57* IOweYouMyLife: Subverted. She did send Lira to shut off the main breaker for Robin and he dies anyway.
58* TheNicknamer: Inverted. She's the only one who calls Bobby "Robert" while everybody else just calls him Bobby.
59
60!!Lira Wolfe (''Sara Komori'')
61Robin and Theridia's daughter, she was in a relationship with Eddie Johnson prior to his death.
62----
63* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest in her family.
64* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She openly disrespects her father and apparently engages in underage drinking, although most of her rebellious streak stems from the fact that her father killed her boyfriend.
65* {{Forgiveness}} / {{Revenge}}: Has an interesting variation of this at the end of the trial; she says she will never forgive [[spoiler:Brock]] for killing her father (whom she hated for killing Eddie but still loved as her father), but won’t take her revenge, because revenge never makes anyone feel better.
66* GirlishPigtails: Her pigtails fit her youthful character.

71* ConfessToALesserCrime: [[spoiler:He admits to setting fire to Wolfe Manor when it looks as though Bobby may get off, after Edgeworth tricks him into confessing. He claims that he's doing this to catch a murderer, although he's hoping to avoid being revealed]].
72* CynicismCatalyst: Mr. Wolfe essentially [[DrivenToSuicide drove Eddie to suicide]], [[spoiler:so he sought revenge]].
73* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:Pretends to be his dead brother for the purpose of tormenting Mr. Wolfe.]]
74* MeaningfulAppearance: [[spoiler:He uses his hat as part of his impersonation of his dead brother.]]
75* MeaningfulName: He and his brother Eddie's names, combined, form "[[ComicBook/SpiderMan Eddie Brock]]", also known as ComicBook/{{Venom}}.
76* MusclesAreMeaningful: [[spoiler:After all, he was the only one who could lift all the furniture of the Den of Spiders up onto the ceiling.]]
77* ObfuscatingStupidity: A more limited example; [[spoiler:he pretends to carelessly activate the Den of Spiders' chair's restraints with Maya inside, but it's clear later on that he knew how it worked in advance]].
78* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:His motivation in killing Robert is to avenge his brother's death]].

85----
86* AbsentMindedProfessor: He neglects to mention that the elevator in the Den of Spiders only carries one person.
87* BerserkButton: Don't question him about his knowledge of spiders...unless you want to get a detailed seminar on the subject straight from him.
88* FaceHeelTurn: Of a sort. He initially begs Phoenix to defend Bobby, but then testifies for the prosecution after claiming Edgeworth convinced him that Bobby is guilty.
89* WithFriendsLikeThese: Phoenix has to wonder how much Thomas cares for Bobby, especially considering that he doesn’t stand up to Robin. In the end, though, Bobby gets a job working for Spitzer and caring for his spiders, and is considerably happier as a result.

92[[folder: Turnabout Showtime (''Gyakuten no Showtime'')]]
93
94!!Julie Henson (''Juri Okazaki'')
95Assistant to the publicity team at Sparkle Land, and the defendant in Turnabout Showtime.
96----
97* CharacterTics: Biting her nails when she's nervous. Raymond ''[[BerserkButton hates]]'' it, but Phoenix finds it cute.
98* TheCutie: Phoenix is quite attracted to her, presumably because she slightly resembles Dahlia. It's unclear whether this is before or after [[spoiler:he learns Iris actually did love him.]]
99* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Gumshoe takes her away this way. {{Justified|Trope}} in that resisting arrest is not a good idea.
100* WorkingWithTheEx: There is some unspoken tension between her and Flip because he left her for another girl, leading her to be suspected for his murder.
101
102!!Raymond Spume (''Kosuke Kasugai'')
103
104Publicity team leader at Sparkle Land, the creator of the Sparklestar and Friends show and the one playing Sparklestar. He's Julie, Buck and Flip's immediate superior.
105----
106* BadBoss: He is quite the jerk to all of his employees.
107* BerserkButton: Julie biting her fingernails causes him to berate her for being unprofessional. [[spoiler:It ultimately proves his undoing, since he ends up mentioning an instance of it that he shouldn't have been able to see]].
108* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Framing Julie for murder over her biting her nails and in his view, not having "the attitude of a professional"]]
109* {{Expy}}: His appearance is similar to that of Kristoph Gavin, [[spoiler:down to committing murder out of jealousy over someone else replacing him]].
110* FourEyesZeroSoul: [[spoiler:He's an unsympathetic murderer that wears glasses.]]
111* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Toward Flip, who was to replace him as Sparklestar]].
112* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After he’s exposed, he realizes that he was the one who “dragged Sparklestar’s name through the mud”.]]
113* JerkAss: Treats Julie horribly for even minor infractions, [[spoiler:and even before trying to frame her for murder.]]
114* LightIsNotGood: “Ray” was chosen as in “ray of light”.
115* NiceCharacterMeanActor: He plays a nice character in Sparklestar, but he's a huge {{Jerkass}} in reality. Maya even comments on this.
116* SayingTooMuch: A case in which it isn’t immediately obvious that he had even made a mistake. His yelling at Julie for biting her nails after finding Flip dead like she did in the show indicates that [[spoiler:he was turned around inside his costume, thus validating Phoenix’s theory that the killer wore his costume backwards to open it from the inside, stabbed Flip (who was himself wearing his costume backwards) , then turned himself back around]].
117* SeriousBusiness: His view on Sparklestar, from yelling at Julie for biting her nails to [[spoiler:killing Flip for being chosen as his replacement and framing Julie over her biting her nails]].
118* SinisterSilhouettes: If you look at the intro, you [[spoiler:can see part of his hair before he stabbed Chambers.]]
119

130

140
141!!Cool Saito
142A fortune teller specifies in ice cream fortune telling.
143----
144* ContinuityNod: Kind of. It's the future that Saito predicted. And that future is when Phoenix Wright will become a [[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney pianist.]]
145* FoodSlap: Only that Franziska was the one who did it unintentionally. When Saito offered the judge some ice cream, Franziska destroys it with her whip and it wind up on all of the judge's head.
146* FortuneTeller: One who tells the future through ice creams.
147* PhonyPsychic: At least that's what Phoenix thought of him. After all, he was predicted to become a pianist in the future so he thought Saito was a quack psychic. Oh, how wrong Phoenix was...
148* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ice cream. [[spoiler:After Fortune Circle has been closed down, he decides to master the art of making ice cream.]]
149
150!!Russi Clover (''Kaede Hiiragi'')
151A girl who loves anything that has to do with occult. She's accused of killing Oracle Hecate but she's admitting it since she thought it was the Lord of Death who caused her to do it. [[spoiler:She later joined the Great Tengu Society just so she can take pictures of the tengu. Of course, another murder occurs and she's accused of being the murderer again.]]
152----
153* FanGirl: She loves anything that has to do with with occult or psychic powers.
154* FangsAreEvil: She imagines herself with fangs after being possessed by the Lord of Death.
155* SelfFulfillingProphecy: She visited Oracle to try to stop Cytherea's prophecy.
156* SuddenNameChange: In the English version. After her two times hanging out with Nick and Maya, she has a case with Edgeworth in his manga, where her name suddenly changes to "Candy Holly". The two series have different translators, so it's likely a case of them not comparing notes.
157
158!!Moira Cytherea (''Mariko Kirameki'')
159A fortune teller who gets her tellings from the Venutian, an alien living on the planet Venus.
160----
161* CompressedHair: [[spoiler:She's really a blonde.]]

163* HiddenEyes: Most of the time, her hat covers her eyes.
164* NeatFreak: She claims it's necessary for her hands to be clean during her communication with the Venutian. [[spoiler:In that case, her hands would have been dirty from the red ink from Maya's hand, which was dirty from Wally Flores's ink.]]
165* NeverBareheaded: [[spoiler:She takes off her hat after she confesses.]]
166* PhonyPsychic: Her predictions about the Lord of Death [[spoiler:were there to make it look like she's a reliable psychic.]]
167* PropheciesAreAlwaysRight: Her prediction about the Lord of Death taking over Russi's body came true. [[spoiler:Because of her meddling, of course.]]
168* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Well, she 's the one who made one. She predicted that the Lord of Death will possess Russi so she tries to stop that by visiting Oracle. [[spoiler:Of course, it only came true because Cytherea made it happen.]]
169* TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler:She does this as, in a rare occasion, she actually apologizes to the person she was trying to frame]]
170* WalkingSwimsuitScene: [[spoiler:Wears what is either a one-piece swimsuit or a sleeveless leotard under her robes, likely to make it easier to sneak out of them to gather info from her clientele from the personal belongings they place in her safe.]]
171* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Oracle's Nether World Prophecies was [[spoiler:becoming so famous that Oracle didn't need Cytherea anymore.]]
172* YoureJustJealous: When she [[spoiler:threatens to tell everybody of their little trick of their fortune-telling, Oracle merely shrugged it off since everybody will think she's just jealous of her.]]
173
174!!Wally Flores/[[spoiler:Caliente del Fuego]] (''Minoru Hikage/[[spoiler:Kaen Homura]]'')
175The substitute for Hans Future Simon, the fortune teller who specifies in palm reading. He's the personal general affairs manager of YY Company. [[spoiler:He reappears in Turnabout Gurgitation as Caliente del Fuego.]]

178* FleetingPassionateHobbies: He's only going to do palm reading until the usual palm reader gets back. [[spoiler:Of course, after the case, Fortune Circle is closed down so he went back to his original job.]]
179* FortuneTeller: He does palm reading as a hobby.
180* JumpScare: He hides under the witness stand during his testimony.
181* KubrickStare: This is what he said while he stares like that:
182--> '''Wally Flores''': If you don't take at least two minutes washing your hands, you won't get all the germs off of them.
183* NeatFreak: Well, he does have serious germaphobia. [[spoiler:As a gourmand fighter, he tries to roast everything as a result.]]
184* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: First, he's the personal general affairs manager of YY Company, then he's a fortune teller, then he's [[spoiler:a contestant on Gourmand Battle.]]
185* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Well, in terms of clothing for fortune tellers, his is the oddest since he wears a suit. {{Justified|Trope}} as he's just a replacement.
186* TerrifiedOfGerms: Phoenix accidentally had his thumb touch his hand and it made him all freaked out so much that he had to go to the bathroom for two or three minutes to wash his hands. [[spoiler:That's enough time for him to supposedly go through the ventilation and kill Oracle Hecate but he's not the killer.]]

199* SelfMadeOrphan: Subverted. She is accused of murdering her father, but she's really innocent.
200* SympatheticMurderer: Edgeworth sympathizes with her, but says she must pay for her crime. Then again, as is often the case, she is not the culprit.
201* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:It's suggested that this is why she forgot which birthday was her mother's and which one was hers, as well as believing that her abusive stepmother was her "kidnapper", while her mother was her actual parent]].

204Buck Wheatley's doctor [[spoiler:and Diana's mother]]

209* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Tries to take Diana away from her AbusiveParents and considers killing Buck for hurting her.]]
210* OpaqueNerdGlasses: Wears these at all times. [[spoiler:She had also been wearing these along with a face mask for some undisclosed reason when Buck came to her clinic in the first place, which is why he didn't recognize her.]]
211* PlotAllergy: Has a cat allergy, which is why she wears a face mask. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope It's all a ruse.]]]]
212* PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo: [[spoiler:An interesting variation that actually ''absolves'' her of the crime: she fully intended to give Buck buckwheat flour to murder him, but her cat's shenanigans cause her to pick up the identical can next to it (which was full of powdered condensed milk for cats). Thus, instead of choking from anaphylactic shock shortly after breakfast, Buck just swallows a packet of cat milk instead.]]
213* TakingTheHeat: Tries to confess to the murder [[spoiler:because the defendant is her daughter]].
214
215!!Alice Butler (''Morie Kidai'')
216Housekeeper for Buck Wheatley.
217----
218* IWasQuiteALooker: Or so she claims. The accompanying image is of her younger self in a one-piece swimsuit, which is stylized cutely.
219* KindlyHousekeeper: The Wheatley household's cheery help, though even she finds Buck very abrasive.
220
221!!Phoenix (''Ryuichi'')

227* PowderGag: Is constantly covered in buckwheat at all times. [[spoiler:Earlier in the day, he had knocked over Dr. Love's buckwheat supply.]]
228* SignificantNameOverlap: With Phoenix, obviously. Maya quickly takes the chance to joke about it.

231Buck Wheatley's beloved cat.
232----
233* BestFriend: Of Phoenix the cat, whom she always takes the chance to play with whenever they run into each other.

235* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:The one thing Wheatley showed affection towards since his retirement is what ultimately ends up killing him.]]
236* MoralityPet: Chocolan is the ''one'' thing that Buck Wheatley shows great affection towards.

267----
268* BigOlUnibrow: Unique in that it has a loop on it.
269* IncriminatingIndifference: Subverted; he initially doesn't react much to Fairplay's death, which, combined with the later revelation that [[spoiler:he caught Fairplay cheating and told him to "drop dead"]] casts suspicion on him, but he's not the killer.

349The guitarist of Bird Wing.
350----
351* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:He was counting on Clemmy to push the mis-labeled buttons as he intended, and Holland to fall into the lowered stage. It also worked out in his favor that he was able to stay with Hiedei, creating an alibi, while Tannyn (from whom he stole the murder weapon) went off on his own to have a cigarette, making himself suspicious]].
352* BlankWhiteEyes: After being told that [[spoiler:his fingerprints are on the adhesive side of the tape label for the control panel]].

387* {{Nepotism}}: Hires his niece Monet because she needs a job after college, despite not knowing anything about art. [[spoiler:It's actually ''because'' she doesn't know anything about art]]..
388* SpringtimeForHitler: [[spoiler:In a manner similar to Alita Tiala, he hires people like Gumshoe, Bester, and Monet who don't know anything about art so that they won't know the painting is a fake.

401* MistakenForAnImposter: He and Edgeworth were mistaken as members of the Gentlemen by Bester. [[spoiler:Quite ironic, since Seal was really a Gentleman in disguise and that the real Seal ended up having his cheeks pinched by Bester.]]

Unfortunately, he also hid the cell phone in the wall with him, and had to set a fire as part of a trick to fool Ava as to which floor she was on.
